Fore! Taxpayers: Trump’s Golf Tab Is Bankrupting Us

To: Rep. Crockett, Sen. Cornyn, Sen. Cruz

From: A constituent in Dallas, TX

August 31, 2025

I am beyond furious that Donald Trump and JD Vance treat the presidency like a personal vacation fund while working Americans scrape by. Trump has already hit his own golf courses 62 times in just six months of his second term—a 37% jump from his first. Each trip drains taxpayers: one county alone pays $240,000 a day for security, while Mar-a-Lago visits have cost $23 million and counting. This isn’t leisure; it’s self-dealing. He’s monetizing the presidency, funneling public money into his own properties. Vance is no better—parading “diplomacy” while dragging his family through Europe, Italy, India, Greenland, the UK, and beyond. He mixes sightseeing with fundraisers, pulling in $4 million for the RNC in London while Americans struggle with grocery bills. The contrast is obscene: • Trump’s first term: 378 vacation days, $144M taxpayer cost. • Obama’s eight years: 328 days total. • Biden’s one term: 183 days. If Obama or Biden had dared this, Republicans would have screamed impeachment. Instead, Trump and Vance flaunt privilege like it’s owed to them. Here’s what I demand: 1. Immediate impeachment for abuse of office and self-enrichment. 2. A full independent audit of every taxpayer dollar wasted. 3. Public acknowledgment from Congressional leadership that this corruption is intolerable. Silence is complicity. History will not forgive inaction.
